"Principal Ding, I never expected that Mist City Arts and Science University would have such an ancient architectural complex. Is the library you mentioned located here?"

After following Principal Ding to the Archive Library, upon seeing the ancient architectural complex, Wang Liwu couldn’t help but express his amazement.

In a university, having an ancient architectural complex of this scale is actually quite rare.

Although these buildings were not genuinely ancient, but rather replicas of ancient architecture.

"That’s right, this library is named Archive, and it was just constructed and put into use this year,"

Ding Yue replied.

"Archive, what a fitting name,"

Wang Liwu nodded and then followed Principal Ding into the Archive Library.

The land occupied by the Archive Library was evidently smaller than the Book Ship Library, but the Archive Library’s advantage lay in its taller floors. Hence, it could actually accommodate about the same number of students as the Book Ship Library, allowing over ten thousand students to read and study in the library at the same time.

"The layered structure of the Archive, it’s like a palace of knowledge,"

Wang Liwu couldn’t help but admire the interesting architectural design of Mist City Arts and Science University’s libraries.

At the Archive Library, there were many students, too, much like at the Book Ship Library. At the entrance, the comings and goings of the students were similarly busy, indicating many students didn’t manage to secure a spot in the library and, thus, had to borrow books to read elsewhere.

Of course.

There were also some students who simply found a spot to sit within the replica ancient buildings, where it was comparably quieter, allowing them to sit and read their books.

Upon entering the Archive Library, Wang Liwu saw that, much like the Book Ship Library, there were no empty seats.

The fact that so many students from Mist City Arts and Science University were reading and studying in the library demonstrated a truly remarkable study environment; Wang Liwu had never seen such a positive study atmosphere at any other university.

How could this privately-run university achieve this?

This question once again emerged in Wang Liwu’s mind.

Since there was still serious business to discuss, after a brief tour of the Archive with Principal Ding, they proceeded to the Principal’s office in the Administration Building.

"Mr. Wang, please have a seat, would you like some tea?"

After inviting Wang Liwu into his office, Ding Yue was ready to discuss the serious business at hand.

He hoped that Wang Liwu would help to introduce him to military personnel so that his Feiyue Group could connect with the military field and strive to secure some orders.

"I remember, Principal Ding, that you have an artificial intelligence robot named Big White, correct?"

After entering the office, Wang Liwu looked around before noting the absence of the robot, Big White.

"Oh, Big White, yeah. It was damaged in that bridge incident last time, and it’s currently being repaired,"

Ding Yue explained.

"Yes, yes, during that bridge incident, Big White really performed admirably," Wang Liwu couldn’t help but remark. "The chip used in Big White, is it not the gallium nitride chip that you custom-ordered from Guoxing Technology Group last time?"

This matter was hardly a secret; Mr. Wang could practically guess it.

Ding Yue immediately nodded and said with a smile, "Yes, that’s the one."

"That’s great. Speaking of our last collaboration, the military later provided feedback to Guoxing Technology Group regarding the batch of gallium nitride chips, saying they were quite exceptional. Is it that this time, Principal Ding, you wish to collaborate with the military side?"

Wang Liwu asked again.

Not holding anything back, Ding Yue nodded and replied, "Right, our Feiyue Group currently has rich resources in graphene materials, and the military undoubtedly has a huge demand in this area."

Military equipment and gear, many of them require graphene batteries, or even the basic graphene materials, which is why Ding Yue was exploring the possibility of securing some orders from the military field.

"In that case, we at Guoxing Technology will owe Principal Ding a favor. I’ll help you get in touch with the head of the Southwest Military Region, Officer Chen Wei,"

Wang Liwu said with a smile to Ding Yue.

When it came to serious business, Ding Yue had thought he would need to go a few rounds with Mr. Wang, but who would have expected Mr. Wang to agree so readily?

"That would be excellent."

Ding Yue widened his eyes and said to Mr. Wang Liwu, "Having Mr. Wang to make connections for us could save me a lot of trouble."

In fact, Ding Yue was just being polite.

Even without the help of Mr. Wang from Guoxing Technology Group, Ding Yue had already approached Governor Li, who was likely to assist in submitting materials to the relevant military and aerospace departments.

However, now that Mr. Wang Liwu had agreed to help contact Commander Chen Wei of the Southwest Military Region, the possibility of success was even greater.

"Before I came, I had already spoken with Officer Chen Wei. Now, I can directly contact Commander Chen Wei, Principal Ding, please wait a moment."

After finishing his words, Wang Liwu stood up, walked to the office’s floor-to-ceiling windows, and made a phone call on his mobile phone.

...

Xia Country.

Southwest Military Region.

Military Equipment Headquarters Central Meeting Room.

Chen Wei was discussing a document that had been delivered from the Mist City Government, which pertained to graphene. A private enterprise and a private university had significant technologies in the field of graphene and wanted to collaborate with the military on the use of graphene materials and related technologies.

Therefore.

Chen Wei had gathered all the experts from the Southwest Military Equipment Headquarters to discuss and see if the material submitted by the Mist City Government was as impressive as claimed and if it could potentially replace the shortcomings of current batteries in military equipment.

As the military enterprise developed, electronic equipment increasingly became the focus of military gear, and even other types of machinery required power.

So what was the most convenient source of power?

Burning fuel?

That was the traditional method.

The best option would be batteries, and they had to be incredibly efficient in terms of charging speed and energy endurance.

Therefore.

If there were better battery technologies available, that would naturally be perfect.

However, Commander Chen Wei understood all too well that the battery technology typically used by the military was already the most advanced of its time.

After all, the usual technological progression often went from top-level research institutions to military applications, and only then to commercial and civilian use.

But this time.

The graphene batteries developed by Feiyue Group, which were touted as "batteries of the future," were under assessment by the relevant military departments to gauge their actual effectiveness.

But this time.

A document suddenly arrived from the Mist City Government regarding the use of Feiyue Group’s graphene batteries in the military domain, and this made Chen Wei take the matter very seriously.

"Everyone, please express your opinions: can Feiyue Group’s graphene batteries truly be applied to military equipment?"

Chen Wei looked at the assembled experts in the meeting room and asked doubtfully, "Are they really that impressive?"

"Commander Chen, theoretically, graphene batteries can indeed achieve significant improvements in charging and endurance, but we need to consider practical issues, which include the mass production of such materials, and it must be of high quality to support the extensive use in our military equipment," said a military expert immediately.

Regarding the performance of graphene batteries, the experts were certainly convinced; graphene batteries could indeed lead to a significant enhancement in charging and endurance, which was beneficial for the military equipment domain.

But the issue was that the military’s demand was so vast, and if graphene could not guarantee high-quality mass production, how could it sustain this demand?

"Old Wang, since Feiyue Group has submitted the materials through the Mist City Government, maybe they really can achieve mass production of graphene," said another military expert suddenly.

Upon hearing this, Chen Wei thought it made sense.

"Continue to look through the materials. It is mentioned here that Feiyue Group claims they indeed can achieve mass production of graphene, and this technology has also been nominated for the National Science and Technology Award," said an older military expert, who had closely read through the document from Feiyue Group and noticed a very important piece of information toward the end.
